I don't know how to describe the relationship between the two

[kwfine]

Jan is the owner of ABC shop which monthly rental fee is $2000.
Jan has to pay the $2000 monthly rental fee of the shop,
and Johnny will undertake 60% of the rental fee.

What is the relationship between Johnny and Jan then?
Is it business partnership?
Are they co-workers?
my vocabulary is weak, I need some help.

Thank you.

Relationship between two men? Family business probably. Nowdays that wouldn't be surprising.

Hi reindeer,

Is it correct to use Business Partnership?

[reindeer]

Maybe yes, Kitty. However, being an old worn-out cat who didn't learn English words at his mother's knees, I am sure of nothing exept it's a rainy day. Ask Josef. After all, he has a beautiful hat. Sorry for being useless and happy new year!

Don't we live in the same country, by the way? I live south from Finland

Business partnership sounds good to me!
